I should be able to do all that, as I work as a professional photographer ;)

It's winter now and the sea ice hasn't settled yet so no starting the project just yet. All the parts are ready though. First iteration will have the camera in a window in a hut. During the spring when I can dig some cables in the ground it'll move to the shore so that I can get a more pleasing landscape.

I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while. Tried using Free Video to JPG Converter to split a movie into JPEGs, then either imagemagick or enfuse to merge them into a single frame. I tried this with a light painting movie, but there were gaps in the light trail corresponding to when the shutter was closed. I was thinking of using slowmovideo to interpolate between these frames, but haven't tried it yet. Does hipshot do any kind of interpolation?
